Beginning Of Design

This past week in class we discussed what design is, and found out it is a creative way to solving a problem that serves a purpose.  We learned about several different products like the steam engine, telephone, Singer sewing machine, and the evolution of the chair.  It was interesting to see how many people have came up with different versions of the chair, some look comfortable others are eye candy but have much to be desired when it comes to comfort.  We also went of the differences between Industrial Design, Interior Space Design, and Visual Communication Design.  Some things I found interesting about Interior Design is how it improves the lives of everyone who comes in contact with the design.  On the visual end of design my eyes were open to things that I have never realized before like there is a arrow in the FedEx logo.  Overall this past week was an intersting topic and cannot wait to see what comes next.
